Lauren Conrad Has Been Busy Since 'The Hills'

by Annamarya Scaccia

Two days have passed since the web team behind Lauren Conrad's lifestyle website took to Instagram to reveal Conrad's growing baby bump. Conrad, who shot to fame as a cast member on MTV's Laguna Beach and later The Hills, revealed that she and husband William Tell were expecting their first child in an Instagram post on New Year's Day. Although the 30-year-old reality TV alum has been busy building a fashion empire since 2009, the pregnancy news and baby bump reveal have many fans wondering: " What is Lauren Conrad doing now?"

Everything. Conrad works as writer, fashion designer, and lifestyle guru. She's launched two clothing brands, the high-end Paper Crown and ready-to-wear LC Lauren Conrad, designs earth-friendly products for XO Eco, and co-founded The Little Market, an online fair trade shop stocked with handmade gifts from global artisans. Conrad has also authored nine books, including two New York Times bestsellers, Lauren Conrad Style, and Lauren Conrad Beauty; her latest offering, a party-planning book aptly titled Lauren Conrad Celebrate, will be released by Dey Street Books in March. The California native will kick off her book tour for Celebrate on March 28 in New York City.

Conrad hasn't posted to her personal Instagram account since she first announced her pregnancy earlier this month. But over the last couple of days, Conrad's social media team has posted photos to the LaurenConrad_com Instagram account, as well as to the @LaurenConrad Twitter page and professional Facebook page, to promote new content on her lifestyle website. Topics include favorite baby names, how to save more money this year, and a recipe for Eggs in a Basket inspired by the 1980s movie Moonstruck, starring Cher and Nick Cage.

Conrad herself also posted to her site earlier on Thursday to give readers must-have tips on how to weatherproof your bags and boots. Looks like wax will really do the trick!

Pregnancy is an exciting — and nervous time — for many expectant parents. I could only imagine that Conrad and Tell are pumped to meet their little bundle of joy. And if Conrad's website is any indiction, the 30-year-old Hills alum is armed and ready to meet pregnancy, parenthood and her career head-on.
